Day +7

Poor Ellen is having a rough time. Her guts are really suffering with mucoscitis. She is being sick regularly despite maximum anti-sickness. She no longer has her NG tube as there seems little point with her vomiting so much. She has also had some blood-stained vomit which is a bit of a worry because of her previous duodenal ulcer. She is again on regular morphine for tummy pain. We have been told that this should continue over the next few days and will hopefully not get significantly worse.

George has recovered well from his operation.
